She's an administrator and mediator with a love for helping new editors, because she was treated so well when she joined the project.

Trevj joined Wikipedia in Sep '04. He made his first main namespace contribution in Jul '06 but remained mostly inactive here until 2009. In 2010 he took up editing here as a hobby. Some of his interests are reflected in his edits.

I grew up using computers in the 1980s, and live in Bristol in South West England. Collaborating as part of the Wikipedia community is remarkable! As well as Wikipedia, I occasionally venture into other Wikimedia Foundation projects. I hope you enjoy this place as much as I do!
